Scout report

Squad depthCentral midfielder

M. Kojima is a 28-year-old central midfielder at Kanazawa, rated 18.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 184th of 300 on scout potential in the J3 League. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (29.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.65 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kojima.

Judged on this season alone, Kojima graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 65th of 101 of the 101 central midfielders in the J3 League, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 1.652 defensive actions per 90.

We hold a single season for Kojima, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 64th of 101 of the 101 central midfielders in the J3 League. At 28 Kojima is in his prime years, and a market index of 0.9 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 29.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 18.3, Kojima carries the 64th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J3 League of 101 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
